Political Marks

My research revealed the use of political portraits in order to mark territories and empires. From ancient Rome (using statues in public squares and coins), to this day with coins, bank notes and postage stamps, political figures can be use as a political mark that perpetuates facts.

Six current national leaders present my concept. Six leaders of countries that control everyday life, for better or for worse, more than just the territory in which they were elected. Barack Obama the president of the United States, according to my understanding, controls the state of Israel, or the United Kingdom; Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is responsible for the fate of the Syrians; Angela Marker, Chancellor of Germany, is the acting as the owner of Greece; Hu Jintao the former leader of China, annexed Tibet; and Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister is also a political leader that controls the Palestinian people.

I used these stamps to mark particular national images or icons, with my commentary on its unofficial leader.
